CLUB FROLIC LAUGH RIOT BY MARGE AHERN To capacity audiences, whose applause indicated their satisfac- tion, the Oakville Club presented its annual Cabaret on Friday and Saturday night. The show, "Mid- summer Nightmare," with apol- ogies to William _ Shakespeare, was directed and MC'd by Jerry Maccabe in the form of a lively --but somehat| tamed--burles- que house show. The Oakvillains, in stunning black and silver "canned" crea- tions, caricatured the girls can can chorus. Ruthann Gairdner, billed as the Newmarket Nightingale, was' as usual, a big hit with the audience, Nancy Chisholm did a clever bur- lesque on the Ballet while as a raconteur Gordie Nairn stopped the show.Paul Dickson's sensa- tional miming and vocalizing was the outstanding single act hit with Nan and Doug Wilkes number, "Boarding House Blues," a close second. "Sins of the Fathers," "Little Folks," and "For Good- ness Sake,' were three skits well staged in Burlesque tradition. "The Gay Deceivers," strikingly dressed in white evening gowns, sounded very professional in their vocal numbers. "The Fig Leaf Four," and the "Dusky Bell Sing- ers," with solos by Bob Armstrong were hits that called for encores. The show was brought to an abrupt end by Bruce Colville, whose strip-tease act was halted Dy the police, to complete a night at the Burlesque house. Dancing completed the evening. ; A Fawny Thing A tea party at Mrs. Burritt's, Gloucester St., came to its feet in amazement last week when a fawn, pursued by dogs, dashed along Sheddon Ave., past the startled ladies, and vanished into some trees on Balsam Avenue. No mother deer appeared and a fawn al- one in the centre of a popula- John ted area was cause for much speculation for the balance of the party.

BOSLEY BIDES TIME Murray Bosley, Toronto realtor who is being cast in the part of Mephistopheles by Township council by its resolution, was mostly amused when advised of the motion. "What do they do now?" he "I met with the council and asked them when lhe shouldn't have. The council now has only itself to blame for the excitement." He stated the story con- cerning the project would be released in due course and had nothing to add to existing information at the present of them opened his mouth st weel | Ageeing with mayor J. R. Blacks that more complete data should be available before such a large debenture issue was approved, town council Monday night tabl- ed for two weeks the second reading of a bylaw to authorize borrowing of $360,000 for a new public school - north of Stewart t. "We've seen no plans, don't know if it will be a one or two storey building, don't even know where the school would be," de- clared the mayor. "If we have to provide such a la sum we should at least know where it is going." "Working plans are not yet ready, and won't be until July," informed: clerk C. H. Byers. "The board could at least give us more information," declared deputy reeve Ted Lauder, movin, the second reading be held over. Reading of an inspection re- port from Dr. A. E. Berry, of the dept. of sanitation, Ont. dept. of health, regarding the town dump, set off a lengthy discussion as to future methods of controlling nuisances and odors caused by the dump. Dr. Berry recommended use of one section at a time and immediate covering with fill, the erection of a fence to control scattering paper, and use of the sanitary fill method whenever feasible. Chas. Lawrence, who uses the dump while collecting garbage for a section of Trafalgar, pro- tested that 1000 yards of fill he was asked to provide for surface covering was too large an amount. "Fill is harder to get than money these days, and the town dumps as much garbage in a day as I do in a week." Mr. Lawrence told deputy-reeve Lauder he kne: nothing of a township plan to ready a dump of it's own. Mayor Black stated twp. coun- cillor R. C. A. Cumberland had NAME NEW ANGLICAN CHURCH, BUILD SOON St. Aidan's is the name select- ed for the new Anglican church in the Forster survey, the con- tract for which is being let this week. "We hope the building will be started as soon as possible, and that the church will be ready by fall" Rev. F. C. Jackson, rector of St. Jude's, informed the Jour- nal. The congregation of St. Jude's is undertaking the project, made necessary by the tremen- dous influx of Anglican families into the town, especially on the west side. Only the nave of the church will be completed at first. informed him Trafalgar would arrange to use a land fill meth- od, and has said the twp. would not have to use the town dump after June 2. No arrangements had been made for covering gar- bage already dumped, he stated. "As far as I'm concerned, we've had too much trouble with the township, mot only with garbage but: also with sewage. I think we should give them an ultimatum," declared councillor Lachlan Mc- Arthur. "Its time we took a stand," agreed reeve Howard Litchiield. "There is also the storm sewer serving Kent Gardens. We should not burden our ratepayers with full costs) while helping the town- ship of Coun. Trafalgar adhere to McArthur moved that be given 6 weeks to the agreement nothing but surface water be passed through the storm sewer in question. The knotty dumping problem was deft with the mayor for action.
